Gemma Collinge wants to be famous and hounded by the world's press by the time she turns 21. Six weeks to go and her dream inches closer when Halifax agent Kenny Grantham invites her in for a chat. Personal stylist Jeff goes in to overdrive whilst Nell questions the validity of her friend's vacuous pursuit for megastardom. But nothing can stand in Gemma's way; not her job, her protesting Nana or her lack of talent - this is it! Or so Gemma thinks... until she discovers one very big, very serious problem.
